When the heroes of Earth turned against each other, the nations of the world--abandoned by the protectors they had so heavily relied upon--soon succumbed to war as well. Massive bombings tore apart the landscape, displacing billions of people. Those who were not taken into Applewhite's strongholds had to rebuild with what materials they could scavenge from the wasteland their cities had become. One such rebuilt shantytown has recently reported some strange occurrences around their camp, such as supplies disappearing without notice and strange figures being sighted outside of the camp after dark. Most alarming is the condition in which the members of the last supply mission returned--not at all, except for a very badly injured man, currently unconscious and receiving what meager medical treatment the refugee encampment can provide. Chances are the residents of this settlement are just being plagued by other human scavengers, but given the proximity of the shantytown to the Ghost City, its best to check it out before things get worse.
NPC: Remember that the residents of the shantytown will, at best, be unwilling to lend you much help. They are proud of their ability to survival in the post-apocalyptic world, and many of them will see accepting help from outsiders as a sign of weakness. Not to mention, they posses a very "us" and "them" worldview: if you aren't a member of their community, you're competing with them for the resources necessary for survival. This problem will only become worse if they realize you belong to the heroes who turned their back on the world and forced this way of life upon them.
Heroes: Your mission is to investigate the strange occurrences, and deal with what you find in the appropriate manner.
